— Many network operators offer some type of tiered service, in which users may select only from a small set of service levels (tiers). In this work, we study the problem of desig...
Abstract All-optical packet switched networking is hampered by the problem of realizing viable queues for optical packets. Packets can be buffered in delay lines, but delay linesdo...
This paper presents a protocol for packet switched optical LANs using a star topology. The key element in this network is the use of an intelligent hub, which controls the traffic...
Improvements in optical technology will enable the constructionof high bandwidth, low latencyswitching networks. These networks have many applications in massively parallel proces...
